    ...range during the day and we keep them in the tractor only at night. But we didn't expect that our cat, Sparkie, would nap in the hen house! *** In the late fall we parked the tractor on top of the garden bed. We insulated the hen house by draping a water heater blanket on top of it...

    broody with feed store chicks?

    Last night I slipped three chicks under my hen and at first it went really well! But this morning she didn't want anything to do with them. She's not aggressive toward them, but she's also not interested in them. So I brought them back inside to the brooding box. Now I'm trying supervised...

    Overnight sneak and tuck might be working?

    Thanks! That makes me feel a bit better. I'll go turn on the heat lamp in the guest bathroom to get it warmed up so I can bring them inside soon.

    Overnight sneak and tuck might be working?

    Hmmm, thanks. I've been introducing them to her about once per hour and since she's not at all aggressive toward them do you think it might be worth it to give her one more night? Or do you think that's way too risky? When/if I bring them back inside should I continue with supervised visits...

    Cat vs chicken?

    I let my cats watch my chicks so they could get used to each other, but I always made sure the chicks were safe. I kept their brooding box inside the guest room bath tub so they could be completely closed off from the cats when we weren't there to supervise. We finally introduced the cats to...

    My girls are growing up

    Yea!!!!! I have day old babies and on the one hand I can't wait for them to grow up, but on the other hand they're so precious and they're going to grow up too fast.

    Overnight sneak and tuck might be working?

    Since she's never raised chicks before it's hard to tell. The only thing which I have to judge is she sits on her eggs for a long time making me think that she might be broody, or at least this is worth a shot especially since Buff Orpingtons have a reputation for being broody and for being...

    Overnight sneak and tuck might be working?

    Last year we adopted and hand raised three little Buff Orpington chicks who we named Lois, Francine, and Donna. Donna turned out to be a Donald and so we had to give him away , luckily we found a farmer who needed another rooster and was intrigued by our Donald who was hand raised by two young...

    Hello from Napa,Ca

    Greetings! I'm from Napa but I'm now I'm living in Idaho. I was talking with a local winemaker the other day who is also originally from Napa and it turns out that she grew up two blocks away from my house back home in Napa and she went to the same school that my kids did! It's either a small...

    Hello from Boise Idaho

    Quote: North End Organic Nursery is probably a bit far from you in Meridian, but if you find yourself in Boise's north end then I would recommend it. When my chickens were sick recently I took them to Dr. Shackelford in Meridian (Treasure Valley Vet) and he and his staff were great! So I...

    Hello from Virginia

    Greetings and welcome! I'm not from Virginia but I have lots of fond memories of spending summers on my aunt's farm in Bedford, Virginia, including playing with the chickens! I had another aunt in Alexandria, but no farm and no chickens.

    Hello from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mts of South Central Virginia!

My family and I designed built a chicken tractor last summer, if you go to my BYC page (link on the left) you'll see it. It's probably too small for...

    Anyone have a square foot garden?

    Anyone have a square foot garden?

    I used square foot gardening back home in California and loved it! I don't have any photos of it because they're packed up from my move . But I'll tell you that it was 12x12feet divided into 4x4 sections using 2x4's that we laid on top of the soil and walked on them. I used soaker hoses...
